BCC Architect REACH™ is a powerful, cloud-based solution designed to automate and streamline the postal presorting process. It enables users to perform CASS processing directly through web services, unifying address correction and postal presorting into a single, efficient service. Hosted on BCC Software’s secure, SOC 2-compliant data centers, Architect REACH eliminates the need for on-premise software installation, significantly reducing maintenance burdens and ensuring continuous access to up-to-date USPS® postal data and tools. Once integrated, the service allows for complete automation of postal presorting, accessible securely from anywhere with an internet connection. This flexibility and ease of access make it ideal for businesses seeking to optimize their mailing operations without the overhead of local software management. The solution also offers flexible, volume-based pricing and dynamic settings configuration, adapting to diverse business needs. Beyond core presorting, Architect REACH includes comprehensive features like PAVE™ Certified Postal Presorting, support for Intelligent Mail Barcoding (IMb) and Intelligent Mail Package Barcoding (IMpb), and Mail.dat generation for electronic USPS documentation. It also integrates mail tracking capabilities via BCC Track N Trace® and supports advanced mail organization through drop shipping setup, mixed weight manifesting, and palletization. Furthermore, Architect REACH provides robust address correction, augmentation, and data hygiene services through Architect and Infuse Web Services, offering SOAP APIs for CASS, NCOALink processing, and additional data services like Suppression, PCOA, and Geocoding.
